Product details
The Xiaomi Outdoor Camera BW300 is a connected monitoring camera with a published 3MP; 2304 × 1296 image specification. It works with Xiaomi Home for remote live viewing, recording settings and authorised access from a compatible phone. Position the unit where its view suits the intended monitoring area and its network connection is reliable.
Lens coverage is 130° diagonal. Night viewing uses Infrared black-and-white mode and white-light full-colour night vision. Lighting, reflections and placement affect the recorded picture. Check the live image after mounting and avoid reflective objects close to the lens, which can interfere with the useful night view.
A rechargeable 4900mAh typical battery supports cable-free camera placement between charging sessions. Xiaomi laboratory figures reach 120 days with no more than twenty daily recordings or 180 days with no more than ten; settings and activity change actual runtime. The separately purchased 5W BW-series solar panel can supplement charging. Disable the alert function before removing the camera for charging to avoid unwanted alarms.
Connectivity comprises Wi-Fi connection; radio standard not specified in the reviewed pages. Configure the device through Xiaomi Home before completing installation. Router position, walls and surrounding interference affect connection quality. Choose the correct app region and network during setup, then test remote viewing from the intended installation position.
Recording options comprise Cloud event clips; regional service options apply. The reviewed UK pages specify cloud event recording. Xiaomi describes free rolling seven-day storage of nine-second event clips; longer recordings and human recognition require the relevant paid cloud service, subject to regional availability. Review the recording interval, alert frequency and playback settings rather than assuming every advertised service starts automatically.
Two-way voice communication uses the built-in microphone and speaker with the phone app. Calls and notifications depend on an active connection and suitable settings. Review authorised device access, sleep schedules and monitoring preferences during setup, especially when other household members will also view the camera.
The package contains the camera, bracket, mounting template, charging cable, warning sticker, four screws, four expansion anchors and manual; solar panel purchased separately. Follow the mounting and power instructions, support cables correctly and confirm the final viewing position before tightening the installation. Keep the lens and connections clean and maintain the protective covers required for the selected placement.
